Edgefield

The McMenamins empire encompasses more than 50 pubs, hotels, and theaters across the Pacific Northwest, but their crown jewel might be Edgefield, a former poor farm outside of Portland that’s been turned into a resort, complete with a hotel, winery, and golf course. Every summer they host concerts on the lawn, and it’s the best large outdoor venue in the Portland area. In 2017, acts like Willie Nelson, Ryan Adams, Tycho, and Fleet Foxes are all gracing the Edgefield stage, alongside homegrown talent like the Shins and Portugal. The Man. But no matter who’s playing, it’s worth driving out to Troutdale to check out the grounds and sample the full range of McMenamins-made beer, wine, and liquor before taking in a show. And don’t worry about overdoing it—you can spend the night! NED LANNAMANN
